Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein provide for reducing latency in wireless service through a communication link comprising a Modem Termination System (MTS) and a modem. The communication link is coupled with a virtualized wireless link. In one embodiment, a method includes transferring a buffer status report (BSR) from a user equipment (UE) through the communication link to a control portion of the virtualized wireless link, generating a wireless grant to allow the data of the UE through virtualized wireless link, and generating a backhaul grant for the UE to transfer data through the communication link based on the wireless grant information.
Claims21
A method for reducing latency in wireless service through a protocol communication link comprising a Modem Termination System (MTS) and a modem, the method comprising:
- detecting a message from a user equipment indicating that the user equipment has data to transmit to a mobile core network;
- requesting to transfer the data of the user equipment to a Gateway in response to detecting the message from the user equipment;
- and
- processing a grant from the Gateway to transfer the data of the user equipment to the Gateway while the user equipment is negotiating with the mobile core network to transmit the data of the user equipment.
A method for reducing latency in wireless service link through a communication link comprising a Modem Termination System (MTS) and a modem, the method operable at the MTS and comprising:
- processing a request from the modem, wherein the request indicates that a user equipment (UE) has data to transmit to a mobile core network;
- granting the request while the UE is negotiating with a Gateway to transmit the data of the UE;
- receiving the data of the UE from the modem;
- and
- transferring the data of the UE to the mobile core network.
